I will be getting them for sure to replace my stock 18s. I'm not too proud to buy replicas when originals are such a rediculous price. Are OEMs made of a Platinum/Gold alloy or something?? How can they justify those prices?

Did you end up buying them? I'm about to pull the trigger on a set...I love the look, just wondering about quality and of course making the leap from 18" to 20"

I have the OEM 336s on my X5, and love them. The style is much more modern and distinctive than the 214s.

Makes your x5 look new too, as most of the x5s running around have the 214s on

Epacy is an unknown quantity at this point
I just tried the compatibility thing on this link
and it states it's not compatible with the 2011 X5. What gives? I know that's not right...

E53 wheels are slightly smaller in bore size vs E70; a couple of posters reported that they were successful in having E53 wheel bore machined larger.

Others can help on your add'l questions.
GL, mD

will a 74.0mm bore still accept a 74.1mm spec rim?

I have emailed with the seller UAPONE on eBay to confirm the specs and fitment of the replicas he's selling - still the auction compatibility 'thingy' for lack of a better descriptor, doesn't show any 2011 X5 as being compatible...but auction states they are...so if anything goes wrong and they don't fit at least you have recourse with eBay/Paypal to dispute the item.

A while ago I looked at the 336 reps on ebay. The ones posted in the previous link look like they are a little off from the OEMs. They seem to have a more open fork. These ones look a little closer, but I don't know if I like their shadow paint job very much:

Here are some side-by-sides:

^ - The majority of all the fakes look off. The spokes are thinner, and the way they concave into the center isn't as gradual. I wish people would stop putting fake wheels on their cars, regardless of the price difference.
